Dental work in Turkey
Turkey is the world's biggest dental-tourism hub — especially for full-mouth veneer and crown makeovers (the look people call "Turkey teeth") and for implants. Package deals often bundle the treatment, hotel and airport transfers.

|---|---|---|
| Single dental implant | $500–$900 | $3,000–$5,000 |
| Porcelain veneer (per tooth) | $150–$300 | $900–$2,500 |
| Crown (per tooth) | $150–$300 | $800–$2,500 |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | $3,000–$6,000 | $15,000–$30,000 |
